I’ve had one as long as I can remember. It is to the point I buy several packs of pens every weekend. I hate using the pens though because of the ink running out. I prefer to look at them. I also love pencils and other office supplies as well, just not quite as much. Plus, my favorite store is Staples, because it is the only office supply store near me. I would probably love all the others just as much if they were near me. Not sure why, just a satisfaction I get out of it.

Does anyone else feel the same way? If so, what is your favorite pen, pencil, supply, etc?

I know its weird, just wanted to see if anyone else has similar feelings.
eckhart that could possibly be why. My parents owned a restaraunt. When I was younger I would sit in the office for a good part of the day while they were at work. I found it to be a lot of fun doodling with permanent markers, punching the keys on the printing calculator, etc. I remember my uncle once gave me an old printing calculator that I loved that was on his desk, big, shiny, colorful keys, I just loved that thing.

Thanks for opening my eyes as to why this could be.

Any one have similar love for office supplies ;-) fashionista that is so funny, that is exactly how I am. However, possibly worse. I have two large tupperware containers full in my room. I have several tupperware desk organizers full on my desk. The main pen/pencil drawer filled on my desk and the drawer off to the side.

I just love pens, I’m always buying new ones. It’s to the point where I can’t find a pen that I don’t have yet. We should get together and compare are collections, lol. Thanks so much for sharing, it is pretty cool to know someone has the same odd obsession as me.

My office supplies are always getting into fights. How do I get them to get along better?

My tape dispenser is always criticizing my stapler by telling him that he “looks tacky”. They are always verbally and physically fighting. My ruler usually stays quiet through it all, but I can just tell he is bottling up all of his feelings and just might snap one day.

How do I create harmony amongst my supplies?
